I'm at JFK. The JetBlue Terminal was just evacuated
Advertisements [?]Edited on Mon Sep-22-08 08:52 AM by Bleachers7
I'm flying to Miami today. I was minutes away from boarding when they announced that they are evacuating the building. It could be related to a flight that came in from Vegas and was "having routine maintenance.".
F****n bullshit as usual.
UPDATE: The TSA Explosive Detection K-9 Team just showed up.
UPDATE 2 (8:35): They are letting employees back in. "5 minutes were going to let everybody in." It looks like the crisis is over. As usual, the aftermath will be worse.
UPDATE 3: Someone said Geraldo Rivera is flyong out of here today. And that he's Ltrying to gin up a story." Also something to do with WW2 hand grenades as paper weights.
I'm in. Geraldo's exploding mustache and Fox News (Terra Incorporated) strike again.

in the area, according to CNN.

20. False alarm, Term. 6 opening shortly. WWII replica grenades
were declared, so that was reason enough to close it down. (Roll eyes smily inserted here.)

21. Fear, fear, fear.
It's worked before, they figure it'll work again.
Walk it through with me here...
This is the crowd of Jackanapes who is firmly convinced that the incompetence or willing participation of the Bush administration allowed a bunch of camel jocks to smuggle box cutters onto flights that they used to help them kill almost 3,000 people.
Squeals of OMG LIHOP resounded for years at DU.
And they are pissed off when they close a terminal because
HAND GRENADES are found inside of one.
WTF springs immediately to mind offhand, followed by, well, no WTF pretty much has it covered and is buying YGTBSM a drink at the bar right now.
